Oops. I did it again. Again.

I taught three guitar lessons today at Guitar Center and sold one guitar. I think I sold some guitar lessons too, though I'm all booked up, and had to pass my potential victim on to someone else. It was a mom and a third-grade girl. I tuned up some smaller Yamaha guitars for the mom and child. Then I gave the girl a mini-lesson, showing her three easy chords. They were at the lessons desk with the guitar when I left. Buwaahaahaa! It is sunny and warm out today. I may go get some beer and then cycle. Kitty is guarding the door. No R*ssians are knocking. Life seems safe right now.

It's beautiful outside here, too. About 65F with a light breeze. I'm glad you enjoyed your day so far. I hope the rest of your day is just as nice for you.

@TheHorse Thanks. I slept as much as I could. The neighbor's grandkids were Easter egg hunting so they were being loud. *shrug* I'm glad you're getting it the way you want it.

@DaddyEvil Aw, that sounds sweet. I hope their joy filled your heart with joy. I uttered a few oaths this afternoon, but may have the system where I want it--at least for now.

Worked on my stereo this afternoon. I think I have it dialed in for now. Hope your day has been good. Glad you're having Spring weather too.

You are quite the salesman. Kitty makes a good guard. We are having sun and some blue skies. It's still rather gray though.

It's been sunny but hazy here too. Maybe I'll plant some more Spring seeds during this moment of relative sobriety.

I didn't get "stressed" until I started dealing with my fancy stereo. But I think I have things in order right now.

Hey, she could be the next Taylor Swift. I don't know if she sings in key (Taylor often does not) but this little girl is tall and cute. Maybe I'll sign her up to a binding contract as her agent. No more Mr. Nice Guy Horse. Cha-ching, Baybee!

You can add to or subtract from easy chords and come up with "interesting" chords.

Do also teach guitar lessons online? It's good your day was fulfilling. Well, life is good too in this side of the world. But the weather is too hot to handle.. and the Russians are not coming either. I'm trying to be funny but I guess I lack the skill.
